hi . )$A fK GOV. NEWELUf GPEAT the life SAVING SERVICE. Furmor Governor ami Congressman Nenoll of Now Jersey, whose death at tho ago of 84 yeant wa announced last week, will bo long remembered an tho founder of the national life Having ncrvlco, tho plan of which has been adopted by almost all civilized na tions. Dy BOctirltiB a trial approprld lion of $10,000 for an oxperltnout sta tion during his service In Congress Dr. Nnwolt gavo tho first impetus to tho wondorful service which now Includes nlniost alt tho Boacoast of the United KUtos as well a the shores of the Krpat lakes. What tho life saving service means In this country may ho gathered by thn fact that within tho last thirty years tho members of tho llfo saving crows havo been ntimmonct to 11,170 notatilo marine disasters, Involving a total proporty value of f 170,000,000. Of thin great amount property to the vatuo of $132,000,000 was saved by tho elforts of tho government llfo savors. In theso 11,170 disasters no less than 8!i.000 peop'o were Involved, of whom BURNING A SIGNAL LIGHT. Wirt lost tholr Uyc9, 100 of them being lost In a single wreck In which n ves sel wont down o far out at sea that tho service was practically prevented from being of much assistance. That the vast Importance of the ser vice Is recognized by Congress Is i.liown by tho increase from tho Initial appropriation of $10,000 which Dr. Nowoll secured to that of fl.COO.OOO, which was, approximately the cost of 5 (Kit rervlce ' daring 1000. Beginning with a slnglo station on tho Npw Jcr wy coast, there aro now no lecu than Mr, stations located along tho Atlantic, Pacific, and gulf coasts and the shores of ho great lakes. Of thin number twonty,-elght utations are located on Lkp Michigan. As a ruin, particular ly. OB:,the more, dangeroiu coasts, the wtatloni afe located flvomtles apart, 5 tbAaboro botweoii' being regularly pa'trpUed at all .hours of the day and jaight by coast patrolmen. Tho patrol 'man. rota each station travels two and a hair miles, at which point he meets .tho man from the next station, with iivhora he exchanges brass tally checks. 'At night oach patrolman carries a so exiled Coatoa light, a torch from which a bright colored flame can bo .ofcotedtto a considerable -height. Tho instant he discovers a shipwreck he (Itaefcarges the torch as a signal to tho willorsthat their plight has been noted and. (hat assistance will he brought as (liiickly as possible. If the wreck Is located close to shore, within a few hundred yards, tho I.ylo gun Is brought Into use. This Is a peaceful weapon by meuna of which a light liuo can lo shot out to the wreck, a strong cable being afterwards rigged up botwen shore and sljlp. On this cable, which is supported at tho ahoro eud'by a high triangular framqwork, WWoWWhetf 'buoy or 'the life car Ik run to and fro until all the peoplo In STEERING A LIFEBOAT. (Utiger are safely landed, In the life ctr a number of people may bo car ried at the samo time, while the broechos buoy can support but a slnglo paaaeager. Wherever it is possible to do so tho ntirf, boat la also launched us soon nu it can bo dragged to tho nearest point on the boach. These bouts are now m built that If overturned by tho breakers thoy will right and empty themselves, It being absolutely impos Mhlo to sink them. As a rule ships ant wrecked on a lee shore, so that tho surf boat is almost always obliged to put out In the teeth of u strong wind' and is more likely than not to bo capsized. When launched the surf boat is propelled by six oarsmen and I y )'3& fSya !Ss a it. steered by the captain, who stands up In the stern nnd handles a long sweep. Recently small Inunction propelled by gasoline engines havo been tried at some of the life saving stations with pood success. Under the rules of tho life saving burcnu Its members and employes arc not allowed to uccept money or other gratuities from those whom they may rescue. Tho Idcu Is, of course, that tho saving or human life should not be put on n monetary basis, and that the surfmen should do their work as a mntter of duty and without hope of further roward. But tho government has established a method of recogniz ing deeds of especial heroism which bus proved highly successful and bene ficial to the service. Congress hns pro vided beautiful gold and silver medals to bo awnrded to men and women who display unusual courago and daring In saving life at sen, whether they are members of the life saving service or not. To win one of these medals Is tho highest honor which n aurfinnn can hopo to win, and Its possessor la envied of all his fellows. The gold medal for life saving meuns to the member of tho service what tho Vic toria Cross means to the British sol dier, or tho Iron Crosa to the German. It marks him as the bravest among brave men. Among the recipients of the prized medals have been at least two boys who were only 10 years old at tho time they distinguished themselves and one llttlo girl of 10 who ut tho risk of her own lire rowed a boat out Into the breakers nnd rescued two adults from drowning. Besides the rescuing of passengerp and crews from shipwrecked vesselu and the saving of the ships them selves, the eoadt patrolmen1 do a great work In tho way of warning Bhlps which have unconsciously or other wlso got Into positions of great danger. In the year. 1899, for Instance. It appears tnut 184 vcsaola which had got into dangerous waters were warned of their peril at night by the burning of danger signals by tho coaat guards, while ten ships received sim ilar warning In the daytime by tho signals or the International code. In most of these instances it Is probablo that shipwrecks would have occurred It tho warning had not been given, bo that tho sorvlec may Justly claim that it docj a great work as a preventive agent. On the seacnast the danger of wrecks Is greatest -rom Sept. 1 to SHOOTING THE LIFE LINE TO A WRECKED SHIP. March 1, while on the great lakes of course, navigation Is closed dining the winter. , Thoro Is probably nowhero In the world In a similar space a record of so many examples of splendid cour age as that contained In tho annual report Issued each year by the life sav ing department. In a series of little paragraphs In small and unattractive typo is printed the list of what Is modestly called "8ervlces or Crews." In almost every case the story Is thnt or heroic porseverenco In tho race or great difficulties and or lives cheerfully risked that other Uvea may be saved. An an example ot theso stories may be told that or the rescue or tho crew or the steamer Calumet by tho Evans ton life saving crow, for which tho crow members wero awarded the gold medals of the depuitment. When dis covered tho Calumet was stranded off. Fort Sheridan, twelve miles north or Evanflton. It was a Thanksgiving day morning and the thermometer marked 10 degrees below zero when tho crew, who were also students at Northwest ern University, started ror the scene. To add to the dlfllculties, tho air waB full or sleet and snow. When Fort Sheridan was reached tho steamer could be Been about 1,000 yards rrom Bhoro, with tho whltecaps breaking over It. Tho only way to reach the water lino wu8 by means or a atcep and rocky ravine which opened out into tho lake, nnd down which It was necessary to carry tho surr boat. Soldlors rrom the fort wore turned out to assist, and by hard work lu the bitter cold a series of stops wero cut In tho steep batiks, down which the boat was carried to tho edgo ot tho water. A llttlo strip ot sand lay at the foot of tho cliff, and acrocs It the Icy whltecaps swept with tremendous force. Three times the boat was tilled with water In the effort to launch It. After It had been driven boyond tho breakers a heavy wave almost filled It to tho gunwhales, and the crew had a desperate struggle ' before thoy got near enough to pass a line to the crow, which wan almost ovrcome by . the awful cold. Ulg waves were dashing high over tlie steamer, nnd wherever the water struck It froze almost Instantly. Three trlp3 were made before all of the crow were token to placca of safety, and when thin work was over the mem bers of the crow were Quite on badly off as the men thoy had rescued.

Tli- firrut Ktoriui Huge Aliont i Culm Center. The first signs of a typhoon arc fine, lleecy cirrus clouds which move from the eastward to the north. Tho barom eter Is stationary, the weather Is hot, clear and dry and the winds gcutlo or else enhn. If thn clouds come from tho west there will be no typhoon, If from the south then there may be a sign of n typhoon some COO miles to the south ward. Theso clouds, often of wonderful shapes, appear as rar nd 1.G00 miles rrom the center or tho typhoon. Sun dogs, phosphorescenteens, brilliant sun sets, often precede such storms." Atten tive observation of the clrrua clouds, Interpreted according to rules well known to sailors, will often enable a good Judgment to be mado of the dis tance ot the storm center, ir It 1b with in 500 miles the cloudiness increases and tho barometer rails slowly. Within 200 miles or the center tho temperature falls rapidly and the sky is filled with cumulus clouds, the wind increases. From two to fifteen miles from tho cen ter tho wind ceases to blow, tho sky clears toward the zenith. This Is what sea folk call "the eye of tho storm." The sea Booms to boll and Is covered with foam. The calm center about which the storm rages varies In diam eter from four to fifty miles, and here the rain usually ceases. The barometer varies suddenly up und down during uqualls of about ten minutes' duration and rain rails lu enormous quantities. If the center approaches It Is known by u mighty squall, the direction of the wind changes and the barometer be gins to rise. The velocity of the wind often rises to 100 miles per hour In the open ocean. The direction of motion at -the atorni1 center and or the wind In tho typhoon Itselt are known rrom rules based on theory anil verified by long experience. A IIImmI Ntorj. A sea captain at the Continental Hotel recently told a ghost htory ror which he said, Herman Merivate stood sponsor. "A ship." the captain be gan, was crossing tho Atlantic from Liverpool. Half way over a sailor came to tho chief officer and said he had Just seen a strange man Mttfng In tho cabin, writing. It seemed im possible for a strange mau to be aboard, and the officer told the sailor to look again und see If he had not been mistaken. When the sailor re turned ho had a slln of miner in hiu .hand. 'The man is not' there now, but tills puper lay on the table where he nail been sitting.' he said. On the sheet wero the words 'Steer due south.' This thing was so mysterious that tho ship's course was actually changed, und she did steer due south for six or seven hours. She came then on a wreck and succeeded in rescuing tho men upon It. One of these men the sailor ot the rescuing ship recognized as the stranger whom he had seen be fore. This stranger some hours earlier had told his captain that ho often went into cataleptic trances, und that he had Just coino out of one lu which he asked the aid of a ship thnt was sail ing somewhere to the north. It seems nn improbable story, this, but it Is very woll authenticated, nil the same." Philadelphia Record. Tim t'HnuUiuit Kluu. Undoubtedly tho only strictly ac curate and appropriate national flag for display In civil life, throughout the length and breadth of this Dominion Is the Red Ensign, a Hag of plain red, having tho Union Jack In tho upper 'canton," or corner, next tho mast, and tho Dominion coat of arms In tho "fly" or field ot the flag. However, lu civil lite In Canada there Is no written codo either obligatory or prohibitory. The use ot national flags or emblems like ao many other matters under tho oasy golng British constitution, which wise ly avoids nil undue Interference with tho liberty of tho subject,' or needlessly repressive enactments Is almost en tirely a matter of usage.

The stylo Is whut the dealers call a fad style. It has a double projecting Bole, enormously thick. Tho lower deck Is a good three quarters of an Inch wide. Tho upper Is a quarter or an Inch in width and Is rope-stltchcd to tho lower dock. Tho extension runs round tho Bhoc, heel and all. With tills formidable sole goes an upper which Is equally sturt Ung. A low double decker of patent leather hns an elaborate punched too and a trimming of the samo stylo ex tending entirely around the shoo. Tho eyelets arc huge brass ones. Altogether It Is a shoe about as graceful as an ele phant's hoof. A Bhoe salesman wns showing hla set of samples the other day to a layman. Ho lifted tho double decker and laid It down with n sigh. "That's tho sort or shoe that makes tho nmiiuracturcrs want to lie down nnd die." he Bald. "Ot course, that's an extreme, but look at all the icst ot these heavy shoes for -women. If It was not for the extreme west and south wo might us well give up the ghost. Now, here's tho shoe that worn en used to wear before thoy took It Into their heads that they'd wear ar mored crulsera on their feet. But the erulsera aro Btcudy and long 'wear ers,' " and he sighed dolefully. "Here'B what wo call a freak toe. Tho shoe 'bus an absolutely tralght line on tho Inside, then sheers oh suddenly on the outside, so that tho point of tho toe Is right at the Inside corner ot the shoe. Instead ot a round too there Is simply n corner. That shoe sella best' In Chi cago. These arc the best New York sellers." he said. ".This one hi a light weight kid shoe, with u patent leather tip, flexible solo, und what's called a medium toe. This other Ik heavier and haa.a larger toe. but Is not a freak. One la a dross shoe, the other a street shoe. Take it all In all, patent leather is the best selling shoe in New York today, more'a the pity for the reet thut wear the shoes. Hero's u new thing; looks like patent leather, but Is more flexible and porous, and Is guaranteed not to crack. That's Ideal kid." VARIETY IN BREAD. Iti'llili of t'ouil l)rli'iiili iii urW-ty of Timor. One or the important tacts about our relish ot rood, says the American Kitchen Magazine, Is Its dependence upon u certain variety ot flavors. Dys pepsia Iisr been produced by the con stant use ot the same roods cooked' In the same way, and cured by the mere adoption ot a more varied diet. Thoro Is danger In pampering tha appetite, ot course, and surfeiting It with va riety; but this lies principally In the pastry cook's 'depaitmeut. A variety of breads Is much lefH dangerous than a variety of pies and sweets. The old southern fashion of five dally breads for the table, was a much more health ful one than the Northern fashion of unlimited enkes and pies. That num ber ot breads Is, however, oxccsslvc. One may need five breads during a month, but certainly not at any one meal. Besides tho many kinds ot bread to bo secured by the use of tho different grades and varie ties of wheat Hour spring and winter, high-grade and low-grade, whole wheat, graham, etc. there are corn breads, rye breads, burley bread and breads mado from a mixture or corn, rye, wheat, barley, etc. Having, then, an almost unlimited variety ot breads to choose trom, and bearing in mind what bread should yield to a well-considered dietary, we certainly should be unwise not to make our breads contri bute, as tar as possible, not only to tho nourishment or the body, but also to the promotion ot good health In the correction ot such minor derangements or the system as may be reached by a Judicious selection. A variety or por ted breads, not only broads with va rious flavors, but of different kinds, containing different amounts of those substances found In tho wheat, would serve better than a thousand doctors to keep our country people lu sound health. .u ('iiforluiiHtt) DriliM-lloii. Sergt. Kelly, of tho Irish bar, In the enrly years of tho nineteenth century, used to indulge In u picturesque elo quence, lacy ot the soil, but unfor tuuateJy he would sometimes forget tho une ot argument, and would al ways fall back on the word "there fore." which generally led his mind back to what lie bad lutended saying. Sometimes, however, the effect was al most disastrous. One time he had been complimenting the jury, assuring them that they were men of extraor dinary Intelligence, and then branched off Into a statement of his case. With a wave of his hand n smile on his face ho proceeded: "This Is so clear a case, gentlemen, that 1 am convinced you felt it so tho very moment I stated it. I should pay men ot intelligence a poor compliment to dwell on It for n min ute, therefore I shall proceed to ex plain it to you ns minutely as possi ble." -Green Bag. ' A Woman H .ippcr.

ARE PITIABLE SERFS AWFUL CONDITION OF THE PEAS ANTS IN ITALY. No Womlt-r tin? Country U tlie Fruitful Mothrr of Anarchy nnd Noclnllvm '.on Working !) ami No Nntiriayii Off Duty. From sunny Italy camo tho An archist who slow the Empress Eliza beth, President Cnrnot, Prlmo Minis ter Canovns and finally Humbert him self. In Btinny Italy la probably tho rankest growth of Anarchy nnti So cialism in all Europe. And In the Bunny plains and valleys of northern Italy Is what perhaps Is the worst condition of serfdom thnt exists in Europe today. Here In tho provinces that oordcr on tho river Po Lorn hardy, Vcnctia and Emilia the peas antry stagger under burdens ao de pressing nnd unending that It Is no wonder thnt the extract from this hu man press Is Anarchy and Socialism. It Ib in. theso provinces that the fer ment of Socialism baa worked the moBt. Hero the peasants nro organ ized moro or less completely into so cialistic groups. Whatever ot worth there was in tlie old system or labor in tlieao provinces disappeared 20 years ago when many ot the old noules were forced to give up their landed estnteu bccatiBe of the fall In price of wheat and cattle duo largely to American competition. With the ruin of the nobles enme that of many of tho ten ant tanners and small proprietors, who were compelled to leavo the tortile and smiling country and go Into tho towns tor work, or else emigrate to America, there to begin llfo anew. The field laborers or Italy ore divided Into two classes, the obbligatl, who are hired by the year, und the dlsobblt gatl, who arc employed by tho day. The formar ehiss, of course, aro a little better off than the latter, for their con tract runs longer, and they can look further ahead. But lu either class. the outlook is miserable enough. For not only does tho peasant bind hlmselt to work tor his owner, but be binds his whole family, with the possible ex ception of babes, who would be In cluded, except that they can produce nothing, nnd therefore nrc left In the corners of the Ileitis. For this reason, that nn employer can get the services of un entire family for the price ot one man, an unmarried man, or the man with a wire and no children, is at a great disadvantage, tor work for him Is not to bo had us long as there are unemployed families at hand. Yet another hard feature of this system Is thnt the head ot the family must stip ulate, it he has unmarried daughters, that they Bhall not marry for the pe i iod of time which tho contract has to inn. A day's work In this part of canny Italy l from 4 In the morning to ! at night that Is, from the first flush of dnwn to tho last light to be had trom tho setting sun. There is no Sunday In tho calendnr of the Ital ian peasant. On the day of tho week which all Chrlbtendom observes, as on other days, he is in the Held at 1 o'clock In tlie morning, and between 7 and 8 has his breakfast; ho gets an hour at midday nnd half nn hour at ft or 0 o'clock and then he worka on till he no longer enn see. The women go Into the fields with the men. They hoc In the maize fields, feed the cattle ,nnd cultivate the flax. It the children aro babes they can do nothing to the great Borrow ot tho employer, ror thoy ,eat, It ver so , little, but do ..not pro-, mice, utit wnen thoy get to bo a tew years old they are useful In looking Hfter the pigs, etc., and as soon as pos sible they arc sent to work with their parents. The wages of tho peasant's family are partly In money nnd partly ir. kind, and he hns the privilege of rent free. In cash he gets from $15 to $'-0 n year; In kind ho gets 14 Dtishe: of maize, -seven bushels" of wheat and fiom !!00 to 2C0 bundles of firewood. H he Is In a vlnoyard section he receives In addition 800 to 900 pounds ot grapes while In other tuitions he gets six to nine bushels of rye. He may get some rice, which ho nilxrs with the millet to produce the Indigestible bread which is responsible for tho disease called pellagra. Then he may have tho privilege ot n little patch ot ground on which he may raise maize, two thirds of which goes to tho employer, and he may raise silk worms, too. So tho average peasant'a family or six persons may earn altogether trom $120 to $125 a year. Ot schooling for tho children there is none, except In the winter In tho villages. Consequently many of these Italians who conic to America in the hopo of bettering their condition neither can read nor write their own language. Great wonder it is If anything good can come out of modern Italy. . Tnlil r.llirly Son to "Hindi."

Both he and his songs nro so well known that llttlo need be said of thorn. Fow birds havo so extensive n repertoire; none I more common more lovable, more vivacious, modest yet Irroprcsslhly happy. Heard after tho long winter .Bllcnce, his dainty, pure aria touches tho heart llko the smllo of baby lips, and when ho awnken3 In tho beauty of T a moonlit night, ho will sing hlmselt to sleep again with n Joyous lullaby. The song-sparrow has a cousin called the grass flnch or vesper Bparrow. He Is nlmost ns common, and delights In singing in tho twilight, morning and evening. Tho lobln's cheery morning strain, his Irani; satisfaction with him self, his almost aggressive nelghbor HnesB, make him n bird to bo nv-sed above most others. Certain Individuals have something ot tho dcllcloiui tonal quality ot their tamed gray-brown cousins; but as singers thoy are ex celled in their own stylo or music. An other bird, too, the meadow lark, Is ;i V" great tavorlto with almost everybody. His two or three common notes, which ho almost but not quite whistles, are Inexpressibly sweet.vbut I have never heard the sustained song ot trom ten to twenty notes which good author ities In somo sections report.

He Is the true troubadour - ) among birds; in summer the most riotously gay, tho most madly merry or feathered minstrels.

The bobolink' Is one of the witching, haunting songs Its tone u mystery of sound. It hns in it the bubbling ot brooks; tho tintinabulation ot metallic plates; the resonant purity of xylophono taps. And - if you havo over heard it, you can Imagine the delight that onco camo to me, when awakened in the first flush ot the morning In a southern bunting camp, by a chorus ot a hundred sueh songsters, northward bound on flash ing wings.

Thero nrc many things which at first thought appear to bo easy enough of accomplishment that it is pretty safe i to bet a1 man he cannot do. Most peo- -pio know that the human hands are not strong enough to break n now laid egg if the hands aro clasped and the egg laid endwtso between the palms. It is said that the pressure required to break an egg In this manner n,monnts Jo tons. Among other safe bets Is a wager that man cannot rise -trom a chair without bending torward or putting his feet under tho chair or outside of It. Many n mau will back hlmselt to glvo unothor n start of CO yards In a dash of 100, provided the man having the start hops all the way. But no runner, however swift, can give that amount of start to nn ordinary map. For l)ip first five yards they go at practlcnlfy the same pace. There fore the runner, to go 95 yards while the "hopper" goes 45, would have to run more than twice aa fast, and it would be a weak man who could not hop 45 yards at u paco equal to 20 sec- onds for 100 yards, and that would mean that the runner, in order to win, would have to beat all previous rec ords. If. aman boasts that his pen knife Is particularly sharp, ask him to cut, with ono stroke of the blade, one of those yellow ribbons, mostly of silk, which comes around bundles of-r, cigars. In 099 cases out of 1,000 tho knife Is not sharp enough to do this. It will cut through all the rjbbon ex cept tho Inst strand, nnd that will pull out long, and the moro ho tries to cut It tho longer it will pull out. It Ib safe to bet any one except a blind man that he cannot stand without support ot any kind for flvo minutes at a stretch, If he Is thoroughly blindfolded, with out moving his feet. If ho does not move his feet ho Is pretty sure to topple over In about u minute. Annuel Mm. He rnhurtlt. V The friends of Mmc.
